Another point to consider is that not all types of rice have the same amount of starch. Those with medium or long grains have a moderate amount of starch that is suitable for dry rice.
On the other hand, short grain ones have much more starch and since they are ideal for preparing risotto, we should not rinse them, it is an essential requirement.
That is why polished white rice does not need to be washed, because it loses its nutrients when washed away by water. Rice when washed becomes a very sticky state when cooked.
For example, with respect to brown rice, washing has less impact on the nutrients. Because the grain is packed in its protective layer, it loses fewer vitamins and minerals when washed.
So we must understand that this supposed white dust , that the water will sweep away when washing the rice, is not dirt or chemicals, nor anything to worry about. It is simply the rice itself and its components.
